Pris en skön dag om aftenen.

 - Vindauga - The English word "Window" originates from the Old Norse word "Vindauga" (Quite literally meaning wind-door) which stems from "Vindr-wind" and "Auga-Eye" (meaning Wind Eye). The modern Danish language has developed over centuries from Old Norse, specifically Old East Norse - a Northern Germanic Language stemming from the Viking age around 1300. Old East Norse traces can still be found throughout Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.

- Wind Turbines - The Wind Turbine (electricity producing structure) was developed around 1890 using technology adapted from the Windmill (non electricity producing structure, i.e. milling grain) by Paul la Cour, a Danish scientist and inventor. In 2012-2013 wind-generated energy accounted for around 30% of the electricity consumed by Denmark, with apparently up to 40% of the wind-generated energy being exported. The wind turbine industry in Denmark is currently the worlds largest and Danish companies account for nearly 40% of the world turbine market, the largest companies being Vestas and Siemens Wind Power. In recent news it has been claimed that offshore wind turbine farms in the USA could help lessen the magnitude of hurricanes, causing disasters such as Katrina to be much less devastating.  (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140226075019.htm)

- Kraken - First described by the Danish writer and biologist, Erik Pontoppidan, the Kraken was said to take the form of a giant crab the size of an island. In modern times the creature is commonly portrayed as a giant squid which drags large ships to the bottom of the sea. The first sightings were most likely of literal giant squid which can grow up to 15 meters long. The Kraken is said to live in the cold Norwegian sea where it is often mistaken for land, Pontoppidan claims that the real danger the Kraken presents is in the whirlpool left in its wake.
